Good thing they let me know. That 19 lbs. could put me over the edge if I'm not careful.

Jeeeeze.......
Yeah, i guess this is a problem with their dealer-installed options. I got a sticker last year that reduced the GVWR by 1 pound or 0kg. Yes, the conversion factor is one pound to zero kilograms.

Well, the notice is for North American vehicles. I guess they don't care if the Canadians are over the limit.
